    (continued from previous page)
    The people were afraid to go to bed afraid their houses might be blown on top of them. It was awful to hear the winds blowing in this locality. In Clude there was a family living and the night of the big wind the door was blown open and the wind blew the sparks through the house. The house went on fire. Then they went to another house that was near by.
